Maybe if your parents are christian and get baptized then you are technically one, but you are free to change to any religion you want. Even though Christianity is the one to turn to.

It doesn't sound like you're a Christian now, or have a problem with it, so make a choice. That is your freedom. Just because you were baptized or something at birth doesn't mean you are a Christian, it is merely something you're parents thought was good and believed in. It provided you with the opportunity to believe and follow their beliefs if you want. I would be happy to know someone cared about be enough to do it, but also would hope they would respect me enough not to be offended if I decided to take a different path down the road.

Freind not one make can make you christian, that is you choice, Being baptised as a Child does not save a person, first you must repent & be Baptise In he name Of The Lord Jesus Christ ye shall be Filled with the Holy Ghost, That is the seal of God that he have accepted you in his kingdom. Therefore Being Baptise as a little child bring sprinkling water on you head,Thgat is not true baptism. You mut be comletely Inmuserse into water 100% after you after salavtion. And then the only way is in he Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. For the remmision of the sins done in the body of, yourself.

You say this that they made you --- I suppose that you are talking of your parent's.. Well they did what God said to do.. Raise a child in the way he should go and in the days of Old he will return unto it.
So by obeying God you become totaly responsible for your own salvation.. And beside's it sounds like you are not chosing to be a Christian now.
So You are free to chose, now it is free to you or not.. But your parent's done what was right in the eye's of the Lord..And now not held accountable for your wrong's... You are..

As a parent you are responsible for your children's upbringing to the faith.
For the infant, he or she is justified at the moment of baptism by the power of the Holy Spirit (see 1 Cor. 6:11, Titus 3:5, Heb. 10:22). At the moment of baptism, by God's grace, faith, hope and love are infused into the soul (see Rom. 5:1-5 and the Council of Trent's declaration on Justification). For an adult, he is also first justified through baptism. The faith and works he does prior to baptism disposes him to justification, but he is not yet justified until baptism. That is why Paul says in his letter to Titus that we were not justified by the righteous deeds we have done, but by the washing of regeneration which is a reference to baptism (Titus 3:3-5). However, after baptism, we are further justified by faith and works (see James 2:24). I hope this clears things up.

No one can "make" you a Christian. That is a choice only you can make. Only you can choose whether or not to believe. In a nut shell being a christian means Accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. Believing he went to the cross and died for you and me. Believing in the holy trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and so on. So you see, only you can decide if you are a Christian because only you can decide if you believe.

Religious freedom is an oxymoron. To be religious you must worship something or someone. Worship means devotion and the giving up up selfish wants to do the will of the one worshiped. When you disown yourself so as to worship you give up your freedom and instead take up the will of you master. Disowning yourself for your god is not a bad thing however, just be sure the god you choose to worship has your best interests at heart. Ultimatley though, the choice of what god to worship belongs to you. Choose wisely...

No such thing. Your parents can dedicate you to God, and promise to raise you in accordance to His Word, but that's as far as that goes.
There's no such thing as "infant baptism or Christening" in God's Word.
Children are under God's veil of protection until they get to the age where they are mature enough to make the commitment to Christ themselves.
Then and only then should they be baptised.
No one MAKES you a Christian. You make the decision yourself. I pray you do make the decision for Christ yourself. It's a very peaceful way to live, a future of promise and hope.
But don't let anyone force you into anything you don't want. God knows your heart, and this is between you and Him.

No one made you a Christian. You must except Jesus as savior and Lord and Obey Him. You have a choice, that is the freedom!

You may have been christened or maybe baptized right after your birth, but being a real Christian is something that is done in your heart and involves your choice.
